Application of Procedure This procedure applies to an election conducted by Norfolk County that has passed a by-law under section 42 of the Municipal Elections Act 1996, authorizing the use of vote tabulators at the voting places. Any matter not provided for in this procedure shall be dealt with as far as practicable in accordance with the principles of the Municipal Elections Act, Election Official The Clerk shall in writing appoint election officials for the purposes of this Procedure and may designate their titles and duties. 3. Voting Subdivisions The Corporation of Norfolk County has been divided into voting subdivisions within each of seven (7) electoral wards. Within the wards there may be a number various polls voting within one subdivision or there may be only one polling location. Voting results will be tabulated for the voting subdivisions on voting day; some of which will be reported cumulatively.

2 4. Ballots There shall appear on the ballot to the right of each candidate's name a designated space for the marking of the ballot. Subsection apply with necessary modifications to by-laws and questions. The instructions on the ballot direct the elector to vote by filling in the blank space adjacent to the candidate of their choice or the elector's answer to any by-law or question. 5. Programming of the Vote Tabulators The vote tabulators shall be programmed so that a printed record of the number of votes cast for each candidate or answers to any by-laws or question can be produced. Ballots which the tabulators cannot read (i.e. ballots damaged or defective or that have been marked in a way that the ballot cannot be processed by a vote tabulator) and Ballots which are marked with overvotes will be returned by the tabulator for inspection. Undervoted ballots shall not be returned by the tabulator for inspection and shall be processed with the voted sections recorded. Prior to voting day, the Clerk shall have the vote tabulators tested to ensure that they will accurately count the votes for all candidates or answers to by-laws and questions that are marked with the pen provided and with a valid mark in the designated area. When testing the vote tabulators, adequate safeguards shall be taken to ensure that the system, or any part of it, that is used for processing and tabulating votes is isolated from all other applications or programs and that no remote devices are capable of gaining access to the system 6. There are several "Testing" phases before the voting equipment is ready for use at the advance poll or for Voting Day. Testing the Vote Tabulators (Diagnostic Testing) This test will ensure that the clock, LCD Display, system memory, printer, serial port, auxiliary port, and ballot reader are all functioning properly. Testing Memory Cards This will test every memory card to ensure it is not defective. Testing Ballots Once the ballots have been printed and received from the printing house, a test deck must be prepared and tested on each machine. A test deck must include every type of ballot and be comprised of samples of blank ballots, under-voted ballots, and properly completed ballots.

3 Procedure for Testing Ballots The test shall be conducted as follows a) assign a varying number of votes to a pre-audited group of ballots marked with the designated black ballot marking pen in designated area; b) manually count each valid vote and record the results; c) tabulate the pre-audited ballots using the vote tabulator; and d) compare the output of the tabulator with the pre-audited results. (The following procedure is for the Thumbswitch Audio method of Voting) Procedure for Testing Audio A test must include every type of ballot to be used and be comprised of samples of under-voted ballots, over-voted ballots, and properly completed ballots. The test shall be conducted as follows: a) A list is to be compiled of predetermined votes to be cast; b) by using the headphones and hand-switch the votes for all races in the election are to be cast according to the predetermined list; and c) compare the results from the tape of the voting machine against the predetermined list of votes to be cast. (vi) Test Documentation A complete record of all testing phases shall be retained in the event that the competency of the voting equipment is questioned, all printouts, reports, and the test decks shall be retained for verification purposes. The Clerk shall, at the completion of the test, retain the programs, test materials and ballots in the manner provided for in the Act for the keeping of election records. The Clerk shall have access to the pre-audited group of ballots and other materials used in the programing of the vote tabulators. Testing of Spare Vote Tabulators (vii) Prior to Voting Day, any "spare" vote tabulators shall be tested along with the other vote tabulators, as described in the section "Testing of Vote Tabulators". 7. Candidates/Scrutineers Candidates may appoint scrutineers in writing to represent them at the voting place. Scrutineers shall show their written appointment to election officials, upon request. During the fifteen minutes before the Opening of the voting location, the Alternative Voting Method Vote Tabulator Procedure Page 3 of 11

4 scrutineers who are entitled to be present in a voting location during voting hours are entitled to inspect the ballots and all other papers, forms and documents relating to the vote but not so as to delay the timely opening of the voting location. Only one scrutineer for each certified candidate for each piece of votecounting equipment at the voting location may be present within the voting location at any time. If the candidate enters the voting location, the scrutineer shall leave. (vi) The Designated Election Official shall provide a candidate/scrutineer, a printout of the results, signed by the DRO, if requested. To protect the secrecy of the vote, candidates or scrutineers will not be able to examine the ballots or to object to ballots as ballots are being fed into the vote tabulator by the Designated Election Official. 8. Procedure at the Voting Place If a vote tabulator is to be used in a voting place, the Designated Election Official shall, in the presence of all scrutineers and election officials present, cause the vote tabulator to print a copy of all totals in its memory pack before the opening of the voting place confirming "O" totals. If the totals are zero for all candidates, by-laws and questions, the Designated Election Official shall ensure that the zero printout remains affixed to the ballot box until the results are printed by the vote tabulator after the close of the vote. All election officials and scrutineers may sign the zero totals report, if they so desire. If the totals are not zero for all candidates, and questions/by-laws, the Designated Election Official or the election official shall immediately notify the Clerk and shall conduct the vote using the auxiliary back-up compartment of the ballot box until the vote tabulator is made operational or the Clerk provides a back-up vote tabulator to the voting location. In Instances where multiple days of polling occur at the same location the ballot box may be secured and affixed all totals representing the close and beginning of each polling period. If any incongruity exists in the totals in this period the Designated Election Official shall apply the procedure described in 8 above. 9. Procedures under Normal Circumstances Once the elector is verified and has completed voting, the Designated Election Official shall, in the presence of the Voter and without removing the used ballot from the secrecy folder, verify their initials and then insert the used ballot into the feed area of the vote tabulator until the vote tabulator draws the ballot from the secrecy folder in full view of the voter. Alternative Voting Method Vote Tabulator Procedure Page 4 of 11

5 10. Procedure for Audio Voting (This procedure is for the Thumbswitch Audio method of voting) When an elector requests an audio vote, the Designated Election Official shall: The Election Official will provide the elector with head phones and the hand switch, and will provide them with verbal instructions as to how to operate the equipment. To initiate the ballot, the Designated Election Official will contact the security key to the voting machine. The DEO will select the "start audio" option. From the list of audio ballot codes provided, select the proper ballot for that elector after the command "Enter the Ballot ID" and press 'yes'. The code entered will be shown in the display and the Designated Election Official will have the option of verifying the number by pressing the 'yes' option or cancelling the ballot identification number by pressing the 'no' option and re-entering the correct number. The audio ballot will start automatically, and once the voter has finished voting, the ballot will be processed and the vote counted. The vote tabulator can continue to scan paper ballots while an audio ballot is in session, and it is not necessary to wait for the audio ballot to be completed before inserting the next paper ballot. 11. Procedures in Extraordinary Circumstances Procedure in the event the tabulator cannot read the ballot: If a ballot is returned by the vote tabulator and the voter who delivered the ballot is present, the Designated Election Official shall re-insert the ballot into the feed area of the vote tabulator. If the vote tabulator again rejects the ballot, the Designated Election Official shall mark the ballot "cancelled-replaced", place the ballot in the cancelled-replaced envelope and deliver another ballot to the voter. The replacement ballot will then be re-inserted into the ballot feed of the vote tabulator. If the elector who delivered the ballot is present but declines to accept another ballot, the Designated Election Official shall mark the ballot "declined" and insert the original ballot into the "declined" envelope. If the elector who delivered the ballot is not present, the Designated Election Official shall re-insert the ballot into the feed area of the vote tabulator. Alternative Voting Method Vote Tabulator Procedure Page 5 of 11

6 If the vote tabulator again rejects the ballot, the Designated Election Official shall mark the ballot "cancelled". The Designated Election Official shall in full view of any candidates or scrutineers present, mark a new ballot with the same marks contained in the designated voting spaces on the original ballot, and the replacement ballot shall be clearly labeled "replacement" and given a serial number which shall also be recorded on the cancelled ballot. The cancelled ballot shall be inserted into the cancelled-replaced envelope, and the Designated Election Official shall substitute the replacement ballot for the cancelled ballot and feed the replacement ballot into the vote tabulator. Carside/Bedside voting If required for accessibility reasons Designated Election Officials may attend to electors anywhere upon the property assigned as a polling location to provide a ballot. When doing so three requirements must be met. 1. The eligibility of the elector must be confirmed; 2. The secrecy of the voting process and ballot must be maintained; 3. The elector must be instructed to remain in their location until the ballot (in the secrecy folder) can be processed through the tabulator and the Designated Election Official returns to confirm this. 12. Procedure in the event a tabulator malfunctions during the voting process In the event that a tabulator malfunctions during the voting process and the memory card is still functional, it may be necessary for an adjustment or replacement of the tabulator. If this is necessary, the preferred course of action is to substitute the faulty equipment with a spare vote tabulator. The following steps shall be performed in order to smoothly and quickly replace the faulty equipment and resume the regular voting activities. NOTE: At no time shall an elector be prevented from casting their ballot. (a minor delay to open auxiliary ports on ballot boxes is not considered to hinder casting of a ballot and an elector who leaves during this momentary delay is considered to not have been hindered). While a replacement tabulator is being transported to the polling location the auxiliary port of the ballot box shall be opened and utilized. The Designated Election Official shall remove the memory card from the malfunctioning tabulator, and insert the memory card into the replacement tabulator. The Designated Election Official shall pack up the faulty equipment and set up the substitute vote tabulator. In an effort to expedite the replacement, the election official who delivered the replacement tabulator may assist in packing Alternative Voting Method Vote Tabulator Procedure Page 6 of 11

7 up the faulty equipment. (vi) (vii) (viii) (ix) (x) (xi) The Designated Election Official shall turn on the replacement tabulator and proceed to print a re-start tape to verify the number of ballots processed to that point. No results are displayed on the tape. The DEO shall then sign the re-start tape and attach the tape to the ballot box. The existing ballot box continues to be used to accept ballots that are to be fed through the replacement tabulator for the remainder of the day. At the Close of polls any ballots inserted into the separate auxiliary port will be pulled out and feed through the tabulator. Any ballots from the auxiliary box that are rejected shall be treated in the manner as described in Section 11 for processing returned ballots in regards to absent voters. In the event that a memory card malfunctions, the Designated Election Official shall immediately contact the City Clerk's Office. Once a replacement memory card has been provided, the Designated Election Official Shall: Verify that the vote tabulator and replacement memory card are operational, seal the ballot box containing any ballots which were previously processed or inserted into the auxiliary compartment during the "equipment swap" and set it aside in a secure location until the close of the poll. A new, empty ballot box is then used to accept ballots that are to be fed through the tabulator with the new memory card for the remainder of the day. The Designated Election Official shall turn on the vote tabulator and proceed to print, verify and sign the zero totals report, as was done prior to the opening of the poll. The ballots in the original ballot box will be fed through the vote tabulator after the close of the poll. 13. Procedure for Closing the Voting Place for Advance Votes The designated election official shall, after the close of the first day of advance voting, check the auxiliary compartment for ballots to ensure all ballots have been processed. All ballots removed from the auxiliary compartment of the ballot box shall be processed through the voting machine. The Designated Election Official Shall: look at the display on the vote tabulator and write down the number of ballots processed through the unit; unplug the vote tabulator, seal the ballot box and the ballot feed slot in the vote tabulator, and place it in the carrying case Alternative Voting Method Vote Tabulator Procedure Page 7 of 11
